The next morning, before Bella Scott had entered the ancestral hall, someone stopped her on the way.
The person blocking her path, preventing her from moving forward, was none other than her ex-husband, whom she had been avoiding for some time - Edward Anderson.
She pretended to stop the car.
Seeing this, Edward thought he had achieved his goal. As he quickly got out of his car, Bella suddenly slammed on the gas, feigning an attempt to ram him.
Edward had not expected Bella to be so ruthless. He hastily dodged, and Bella's car whizzed past him, leaving him sweating in fright.
Watching Bella's car defiantly speeding off, he almost laughed out of anger.
True to Miss Scott's style, she was strong and decisive when she needed to be. That was his woman!
As Bella looked at Edward's figure becoming increasingly distant in her rearview mirror, eventually turning into a tiny dot, her red lips curled into a cold arc.
